This invention relates to an improved hot water heater that is of small capacity but is to a faucet at a minimum of expense in i stallation and in operation.

The invention comprises a heater casing with a coil of piping heated by a burner within it, the Whole being supported adjacent t the faucet, the piping forming a hj-pass around the valve of the faucet.

The invention is primarily designed fainilv use and is preferably constructed for that the heater casing and associated parts lGZ'QGf are supported by the faucet.

'lhe particular form of heater is adapted to he fed by a va ve which is operatec simultaneously Wioll a valve of the gas burner of the heater, so that the Water is started through the piping at t same time that the iiame is i l and when the Water supply is re- =ncreaseu duced the heat is likewise reduced.

The invention is illustrated in the accomg'ianying drawin s in which Figure l is a top view of a device embodying myinvention. Figure 2 is a side VlW of the device shown in Figure l and Figure 3 is a front view thereot with the heat 1 casing shown in sec- Figure is a section on line l% in Figure 3.

In the drawing the faucet is indicated at 1 nd has the sual valve operated by handle i, t as faucet supplying cold Water directly ii om the spout l2.

The heater casing is shown at 13, usually with perforated top and bottomcaps i l and at the inside is a burner 15 for heating the coils of iping 16 above it. This piping is 13 connected by the length 17 to faucet in rear of the valve and by the length 18 to the faucet in front of the valve. it Will be evident from this that Water admitted to the piping While the burner is lighted will deliver hot Water to the spout 12.

The inlet length 17 of the piping we a valve 19 for regulating the flow of Water through it. The gas pipe 20 Which supplies the burner 15 has a valve 21 for regulating the supply of gas. The valves are preferahly operated together and for this purpose I snow the handle 22 common to both valves HEATER 1927. Serial No. 197,664.

and placed so that when it is swung forward the water is turned into the piping and the gas is turned on to the burner and the Water passing through the piping is thus instantly heated and delivered to the outlet of the faucet. It valve 23 can he placed in the reach 18 ofthe piping and can be equipped w th a spout for hose attachment for rinsing dishes and the like instead of passing the Water through the outlet 1 The parts of heater are usually supported by passing e pipe. 20 through a bracket or loop 24 on e faucet and a screw 25 is shown as a means tening the pipe 20. A small pilot light may be placed in the burner-in tl usual manner.
